.CA Domain Names


This article explains the requirements and special procedures for .CA domain names.

Registration requirements for new registrants

When you register a .CA domain as a new registrant, the domain registration is temporarily put on hold.

To complete the domainā€™s registration, the registrant must agree to the registrant agreement. The instructions will be sent to the registrantā€™s email address. The emailā€™s sender will be the domain registry itself and not from DNSimple. Make sure to check your spam if you havenā€™t received it.

The email will contain the following:

To agree to the registrant agreement, visit the CIRA registrant agreement link, enter your contact ID, and click I Agree. Once this is finished, your registration will be completed.

Failure to do this within five days will result in your domain being deleted. You can attempt to register the same domain name again through the same process.

If you register another .CA domain with the same registrant information, you wonā€™t need to repeat this process. Your domain will be registered in real time.
